HINGE FOB SAFES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 30, 1919.

Application filed May 20, 1918. Serial No. 235,624.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EINAR TAMMI, a citizen of the United States, residing at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee, in the State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hinges for Safes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in safe construction. One object is to con struct a safe having hidden hinges which cannot be detected from the outside while the safe door is in closed position so that strangers or burglars cannot remove the door by tampering with the hinges. A further object is to provide a safe that is ornamental in appearance, impressive and pleasing to the eye.

With the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts to be here: inafter fully described, pointed out in the appended claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawing which forms a part of this specification and in which- Figure 1 is a fragmentary sectional view of my safe illustrating its construction.

Fig. 2 is a front view of ldig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a front view of the safe.

Fig. d is a side view of the form of hinge employed.

Fig. 5 is a top plan view of Fig.- d.

Like reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout the severalviews.

The reference numeral 1 denotes the body of the safe provided with the door 2, the door jamb or that portion 2 of the safe body contiguous to the periphery of the door being of hollow formation as is also the door. To the inner surface of the outer wall of the door 2 I secure the hinge 3 by means of itsshank 4: formed with the perforations 5 to receive the rivets 6. The said shank 4 terminates in a curved leaf portion 7 disposed, while the door is in closed position, inside the hollowjamb 2 said curved leaf being formed with a heel 8 adapted to seat in a slight recess formed in the jamb 2?, said leaf, further, being integral with a neck portion Qthattrminates in the rolled head 10 spaced away from the curved leaf by the recess 11 and formed with the perforation 12 to receive the pintle 13 that pivotally connects said head to the spaced ears 10 1d disposed in the j amb 2*.

I employ preferably two hinges of the type described, as shown in Fig. 3. Normally the hinges are completely hidden in the door and door jamb, that is, during the time the door is in closed position. As the door is moved to open position the curved leaves 7 of the hinges move outwardly from the door jamb into the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1.

What is claimed is 1. A hinge for safes, adapted to be used on a door and door jamb of hollow con-- struction, formed with a flat shank secured directly to the door and with a curved leaf portion adapted to move into and out of the door jamb, a heel formed upon said curved leaf portion and adapted to seat in a recessed portion of the door jamb, a rolled head integral with said curved leaf portion, and connection between said head and the door jamb.

2-. in a hinge for safes, adapted to be used on a door and door jamb of hollow construction, formed with 'a flat shank secured directly to the inner surface of the outer wall of the door and with a curved. leaf portion adapted to move into and out of the door jamb as the door is closed and opened, a heel formed upon said curved leaf portion and adapted to seat in a recessed portion of the door jamb in the closed posi tion of the door, a'rolled head integral with. said curved leaf but partially spaced away therefrom thus forming an arcuate slotted portion to afford clearance for the door jamb, and connection between said head and the door jamb.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
